Template variables
You can add dynamic information to your templates, using template variables. When you insert a template containing a template variable, Templates replaces it with its corresponding value.
Both {{date}}
and {{time}}
allow you to change the default format using a format string.
To set a format string, add a colon (:
) followed by a string of Moment.js format tokens, for example {{date:YYYY-MM-DD}}
.
You can use {{date}}
and {{time}}
interchangeably with format strings, for example {{time:YYYY-MM-DD}}
.
You can change the default date and time formats under Settings → Templates → Date format and Settings → Templates → Time format.
Tip
You can also use the {{date}}
and {{time}}
template variables in the Daily notes and Unique note creator plugins.
